Amazing recipe. I only used half of the listed sugar. Any sweeter would have been too much for me. I also "eyeballed" the milk just adding until I had the consistency I needed. The key is absolutely to beat the butter (real butter) and Crisco for 20 minutes on one of the higher speeds. This piped wonderfully.

This was wonderful. Still warm from the stove it would make an amazing topper for waffles. I was worried that it wouldn't get thick enough for a cake filling, so I put it in the refrigerator overnight. The next morning I checked and it had set up perfectly. I received many compliments on this in my cake. Thank you so much for the recipe.
